Automated Meeting Minutes from Audio using OpenAI Transcription and Google Docs — n8n Workflow

Low complexity Trigger5 nodes🏷️ Miscellaneousby Yusei Miyakoshi

Overview

Who’s it for

Teams and operators who record meetings/interviews and want fast, standardized, action-oriented minutes—without writing code. New n8n users welcome.

What it does / How it works

On form submission, the workflow ingests an audio file and basic metadata, transcribes the audio with OpenAI, summarizes it into concise minutes (key points, next actions with owner & due date, and counterpart concerns/requests), then creates a Google Doc (if missing) and appends the minutes.
